Mickey’s
Magical Christmas - Snowed In at the House of Mouse
Disney’s full-length holiday adventure of Mickey’s Magical Christmas:
Snowed in at the House of Mouse is a re-release from 2001. Still it’s a
winner with a new group of kids and older, who enjoy Mickey Mouse, House
of Mouse and Disney holiday shorts.
House of Mouse
episodes originally aired on the Disney Channel and ABC, Saturday mornings
from 2001 to 2003. The storylines always revolved around Mickey and friends
running a nightclub whose patrons included cast members from all different
eras in Disney movies. As entertainment for the club-goers, Mickey would
play Disney short films for the audience’s enjoyment.
This
DVD basically has the same premise, just with a holiday flare. As a
snowstorm strands Mickey and his guests at the House of Mouse, in order to
entertain his guests, they break out old holiday shorts to try to get
everyone in the holiday spirit… especially the ever cranky Donald! The
shorts featured at the House of Mouse celebration include “The Nutcracker,”
“Mickey’s Christmas Carol” (my all-time favorite Christmas
short!) and “The Best Christmas of All.”
As I
am sure you can guess, by the end of the evening everyone – including Donald
– is having a wonderful time and filled with holiday joy. Kids and adults
alike really enjoy picking out their favorite Disney characters from movies
of the past. This DVD has 35 in total! See characters including Ariel,
Cinderella, Pooh, Minnie, Goofy and many more.
DVD
bonuses include the premier episode of House of Mouse titled “The
Stolen Cartoons,” from January 2001, two sing-a-long songs of “Deck the
Halls” and “Sleigh Ride” and “The Sounds of Christmas – A Disney Sound
Effects Featurette.”
